It.— As the system is not reduced, anil consequently racked; nor is the fever subject to lie followed by ebronic disease. Oth.— Ecouoiny of Life. —As the cure is effected before and without rodneing the patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding dogree, ull danger of a fatal lerminstion. Other reasons might be added, but these are deemed ■uffleienl to satisfy all classes and persons in all condi tions of life. TUeubovo reasons ar • mure particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the first attack, but will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject • I to or have become reduced, corresponding of course o the naluru of tho case at the time it is first adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and periua went relief, in all ordinary cases, when used soon after the attack, jiersom rah scarcely realize that they laid been really much kick, uml very naturally conclude tin y wer i not at lacked with fever, and if so, ‘‘it was trifling —a iit.tle cold, which gate alarm—it could have been nothing of causequeucc—it would have passed off with out anything—Hint medicine had noeffect.” The general impression on the subject of fever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow the euro of n common case naturally ns melt think id all; and it is not until .'• individual has witnessed many rases that lie can fully . cjvlb.e the truth; and even then he may conclude them all very trilling cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet persons, though they have broil lints successful in perhaps bun beds of ruses, must export, tiiat lliero will cases occur where there is some organic or local cause so great as to require particular attention, or though success ul in reducing the fever, it Will ugwiu rise as tho iuffueuce of the “Fluid” passes off, us the exciting cause limy still exist. It is to guard against disappointment in such cases that I have given ami frequently refer to what I have called a “synopsis.” Remarks on Fever* In Uenerab On this subject I wish to be fully understood. ISy tho i.orm “levers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to wlpcli the human frame is subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great Variety of causes, and ill quite dissimilar constitutions ami habits, they of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet all are distinguished by the same general character istics—that ot undue excitement in the circulatory and nortons systems—inducing more or less unnatural fre quency in tho pulse, sense of bent, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To snow that I am not wholly alone in the opinion I advance, I quote from the celebrated Prof. T. Watson, of King’s College, London, whose work on tho “ l*rlnci pies and Practice Os Physio” Is a text book in many of Mr (nodical colleges, and consequently etatuiardautharit y. Oil pige sal, be says:—“Wo hear continual!.), both in iud out of the profession, different species of fever spo ken of. by the public, Typhus Fever, llraiu Fever, bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to tho full as particular: M neons Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, tJaatro-Knterie, and ho forth. Now, admitting that fever shows itself under various forms, 1 am persuaded that the effect upon the mind of all this sub-division, is bad and hurtful. It encourages a disposition, already too prevalent, to pro scribe for a disease according to its Mume. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, Dial cun lie relied on. They run insensibly into each n!her, oven the most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a great fact, one worthy of remembrance and I would impress on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling yourself about a “name;” if you have lever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and yon will he well instead of any distinctchnracter being devel oped, so as to bo properly named by the most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed side of tho sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by mysolf and others) under u great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates, bear this in mind, and treat at ouce without regard to name , and rest assured you will soon be freed from ull dread of lingor ing and dangerous fevers. But as cases may have be come developed before the “ Fluid” is given, either by neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe as briefly ns possible the proper course to be pursued in all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Buies” and “ Synopsis” will bo amply sufficient for all those accustomed to attendance upon tho sick. Aides important tu hr observed in all cases in using the tisgutive Electric. Fluid. Ist. It should lie given in three or four times its own quantity of water, and may bo sweetened or not at pleasure. 2d. Patients must lie free from all currents of air, (though there should always be free ventilation in the sielc room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in lluciieo. tld. it must lie continued whenever tho fever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to be resumed when it begins to rise again, should such lie the case under any circumstances. 4th. When the fever begins to subside, patients must be left perfectly quiet; free from all excitement; should not lie questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, road or take any exercise whatever, Ull their own natural feelings, independent of idl extra neous intiucncoH, induce them to rise or speak; nor should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in w hicli they may foel more or less interested, but be left qiiiui to all intents and purposes. frill. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as plentifully, and as long as tho patient desires and no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous driuks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either ■old or warm, as parties may prefer or patiouts desire. ‘Uli. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lyiug posture, so as to occasion a restlessness after the lever lias passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face aud breast maybe bathed in cold water; either of which w ill give immediate relief.

All persons over fifteen considered us adults, forwhom a teas|KKiuful is a common dose. Old persons do not • ‘quire as much as young, or those iu the prime of life; nor females, us a general rule, tut much as males. There is no particular care necessary in giving it to children—those of ten years of age frequently having taken full doses; lint for a little guide, 1 have given the above table, with tlio remark that, as a general rule, children require more than adults in proportion. By observing the above directions, the medicine will be found agreeable in all of its effects, the expectations of the most sanguine realized, and many perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that the full benefit of tile medicine may lie obtained, and not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Bilious or Remittent Fever. Give a tousuoiitul of •• Fluid” (see rule Ist) ouce in two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off'; this constitutes the whole treatment in ail simple cases of fever, with such observances as are set forth iu tho “ Rules.” But should there be prominent local symp toms, or known local existing causes, they should lie attended to at once, and while giving the “ Fluid.” Sou Synopsis. If iu any ease tiie bowels aro particularly constipated or conti nod, give a cathartic (see auxiliaries) with the ui st portion ; tiiey must be opened or the fever may rise again.

Bathing tiie surface with water nt an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and water, iu these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid the medicine much tu taking effect. CouKestlve Fever. Give two toaspoonsful and repeal every two hours till the jiulso becomes more full and soft, then only a too -qaanilul, to lie discontinued as tiie fever subside*. As the bowels ore generally unfilled, and it is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate iu till* disease, ii” Lime should be lost to get them open, give some active athartic with the “ Fluid” and repeat as may be neoos ••ary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also lie Used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or friction (rubbing) with the hands or finnnol; also, cold applications to tlio head. Quinine may he added to the “ Fluid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis. Nervous Fever, Typhus. Ship anil Putrid or Spotted Fever. As these fevers are all of one character, differing mainly iu degree, being all of a low grade, tlio pulse small aud wiry, with a general great depression, there is no practical use in separating them—nt least so fares my treatment is concerned. In these low fevers, when fully developed, a little patience will he required; still comparatively little, as they frequently run weeks under tin* common treatment, while with this but a few days will l necessary at longest to establish a permanent eoiiTalescence. The treatment should bo commenced—which may immediately follow any other without detriment—with a teaspoonful of “ Fluid” every two hours, till the pulse beooiiMM fuller or larger In volume, then to be continued nee in sin or eight hour* Ull U-e fever entirely subsides. Iu hod cases, from three tu hve grains each of quinine and aqisicum (Cayenne pepper) or *,• me loan; and stimu lant (sc'O auxiliaries) should bo added to each dose. The bowels should bo kept gently open, aud sural! portions of some liejmtic should lie given occasionally, even though the bowels should ho very loose. The patient should lie sustained by nourishing and mucilagenrms drinks—such as are iu common uso iu such cases.— Where the skill is very dry, sponging tho surface as di rected in bilious fever, will he found advantageous. Tonics should he used during convalescence, in all caacs which have become reduced. Pneumonlu, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever. Dire a tenspoouful of the “Fluid” every two hours, with a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of boueset; or half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved, then, at longer intervals, suy once in six or eight hours. The boneset tea should be given warm till the violent symptoms aro allayed, nr the patient is relieved; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of the kind, to l>o applied over tho scat of pain; keep the bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, Rubeola and Scarla tina) or Small Fox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As all of tlicso diseases are attended with fever, which iu fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers. Remember never wait to learn the “ name.,” whether it is one or the other, or neither, ns they all commence with fever, but treut it at once; govern the fever and there will be no trouble; there will be but little eruption even in small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will tie regarded with ridicule by many. I nevertheless boldly make tlie assertion, that small |io.x, if treated us J direct, will be cut short; attended with but little eru]>- tiou; little or no pitting, and that there is mi necessity of Its running its ordinary course. Du this J will stake not only my reputation, hut ail that l holdmost dear ; besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted, lie lays, |ige 574; “ You may abate the force of tho eruptive lever, and keep down, itis believed, the number of the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Hero is the admission that it may he done. 1 nave not only proven it may be, hilt has been done in numerous cases that occurred on board ship. Wee the account appended. Dive a teaspoonful or more, according to the urgency of tiie case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat tho Fluid once iu two hours if necessary, until the feversuli— sides—though one or two doses is genera.ly sufficient; hut it should bo given aud repeated sufficiently to keep tiie fever under control. \\ hen the throat is affected, any of tiie ordinary gargles may tie used, and the ■urfuei bathed, as thought advisable. in one case, on tiie ship Duchess d’Orleaus, the tongue and fuuc.us were so much swollen that tiie patient could not swallow or speak, and he was cured by dropping the Fluid on liis tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow, when it was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throat was reduced sous to enable him to take nour ishment in ulsiut twelve hours liy the Fluid alone.— Used to wet tho throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle in all such cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. This heretofore painful, dangerous uurt alarming malady to which tho mother is liable, will yield to the Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to he of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoonful, almost invariably giving entire and per manent relief; no alarm need he entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. It should be re pealed us long as the fever continues, as iu other cases. The bowels of course should bo attcudeil to. In connection with this subject, 1 cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by tiie ladies, will save them much pain and suffering. It is to inform them of the happy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains and difficulties; it mui-.t las tried to he appreciated.— Fainful menstruation will be relieved at ouce by a com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by its use; in short, it is one of tiie most convenient and effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not tho most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability and ii itahility of tho nervous as well os tiie circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, hut it will sootli and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy; hence its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense file treat ment as much us possible, 1 give under this head general directions lor all coses. As the Negative Electric Fluid will change the couditiou called lever, or subdue and control it under all circumstances, without regard to tho name it may be or ought to lie called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot lie ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur in any case, they should be appropriate means, and these sohuld ho given while giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, us they will thru more readily act, producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary time will then be lost. As tho ‘,F’luid” alone will sub due tho fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment. if the bowels tiro costive, give u cathartic (see auxili aries) with tho tirat dose, or soon alter, and should it fail to operate in duo time, repeat tho dose; if attended with (liarrhtea, give something known to lie good for that complaint, though if caused by irritability, tho “Fluid” will soon relieve that condition; it severe local pain or inflammation, apply somo stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wot in cold water, to the part; if Violout pain iu tho head, apply cold water, ice water, if Convenient, or somo cooling application, and bathe tho feet iu hot water; if tho fever is very high, skin dry aud hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid tile medi cine iu taking effect, after which there will be no trou ble ; If the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, ill alweuco of fuvor or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when the patient lias become re duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting, that must he allayed before any medicine will remain on tho stomach to do any good; for this purpose 1 generally givo some gentle emetic lo cleanse tile stomach ; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when tho stomach inis settled, give the •• Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary ; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms as you would under any other circumstances, giving the “Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success will crown your efforts; indeed, you caun.it realize it till you have seen, and then you will lio astonished at the ease with which you cau control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by cathartics. Ac., as physicians ale usually particular about what is used. 1 have found no such necessity when using the Fluid, mid to lie fully understood by all, 1 will uauio a lew of the different articles of medi cine I have referred to, viz:— 1 altuirtlcs.—Articles that purge or operate on tiie bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, autibilious, Ac.; anything known to lie good forsuch purposes. llf pit lies.—Anythin); known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation ami secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by the different schools for this purpose, will answer whim used in connection with tiie “Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. And one may choose calomel—iiuotlier, blue mass—the third, podophyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take liis choice and be suc cessful. Tonies.— Articles that give tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone set or thoroughwort is one of the best used in fevers. Astringent*.—Such as check tiie action of tho bowels. Laudanum aud other preparations of opium are used: also, many mixtures, not properly astringents, which have tiie effect. Stimulants.—Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tho beat; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., the essences art* nil more or less stimulating. These are tiie only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used, but the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia phoretic,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and “sedative” than known in the materia mn/ica. 1 shall not tax the reader with a long list of proofs, depending mainly on tho results of a trial, and will only refer to one instance of success, that on the Packet ship Ducliess D'Orleans. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates: We, tho undersigned, certify to the following, viz We took passage on tiie packetsbip Duchess d’Orleans, Oapt Hutton, then lying in tho port of Havre. France, and bound for New York. She sailed on the nth of Au gust, 1861, with over a hundred souls on hoard, mostly emigrants- A few days alter leaving Havre, the small pox broke out among tho emigrants, They were all treated by the physician in charge, Dr. N. IV.’ Seat, with anew remedy of his own, which he calls Negative Elec tric Fluid, willi which he seemed to have entire control over tho disease, arresting it in a few hours, aud curing in a very short time. 4 During tiie voyage, which lasted thirty-nino dnvs, there were about eighty oases of small pox, some fever, Ac., and uot a single death. All were cured with uuu ■unl promptness. From what we saw during said passage, we are fully convinced that the medicine used by Dr. Seat on the oc casion, possesses inestimable virtues. We never liefore heard or read of febrile affections being controlled with so much ease, promptness and certainty, or so little trouble to the nurse.

Dear Sir—The public generally are fully aware of the thousands of re medics for Diseased Lungs, under the titles of Sarsapartllas, Bills, Flatten, Liniments. Ac., that are daily brought to their notice through the newspapers by way of advertisements. My object in writing tins note for publication, is to Induce tin- public, or at least those wlio are afflicted, to use one that contains articles of Heal Use in I‘u.lmonary Diseases, fam conscious that in so doing, 1 am acting most unprofesshtnally, and dcrogu torily to the interests of Medical Science mid the regular Practitioners of Medicine, 1 refer to Woodman’s Cherry Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy that 1 have used with more success than any of die usual prescrip tions used by Physicians. J. M. Maitland, M. D. Gallatin, Miss., May 1, 1860. 0. 0. Woodman— Dear Sir; 1 have given your Cherry Expectorant a fair trial and am well pleased with its ef fects; better than any other article I ever met with. I would be pleased to have you send mo half u dozen bot tles by tho bearer. llespectfully, W. M. Mason, M. D. This preparation has attained a wide celebrity from the universal success which has attended its use. For coughs, colds, and in fact, any pulmonary complaints, this medicine, from its peculiar properties ns a dissolvent ami its soothing power to all irritations of the throat, w ill probably be preferred to any other offered to the public. As an appetizer, or dyspeptic remedy, it will also be found excellent, its natural ami genial warmth keeping the digestive powers in proper tone. Remember that this is the only Cough Medicine that has stood the test of the medical fraternity. It is sanc tioned by. approved of, and recommended by the lending Physicians of New York city. Every bottle is warranted to give satisfaction or the money refundetl. We guaran tee it to be better than any Cherry Pectoral, Cod Liver Oil. or anything else now extant.
